Some Wierd Sin: The Remains Of Where Iggy Pop and David Bowie Made "Lust For Life"

Hansa Studios, Berlin, Germany. Studio 3.  Oct 21, 2009.  The studio is being demolished and rebuilt with all new equipment and a more modern feel.  The copper in the walls was actually used to block out radio transmissions from the military folks just over yonder at The Berlin Wall.

Have A Coke and A Frown

Did anyone else see Coke's new travel-the-world contest?  Here's my take.  The main point:

"We’ve got a planet currently held together by duct tape – is now the time to spend a year running around it like Smurfette, giving kisses to whoever will have them? Or is it the year to expose world poverty, build houses for the homeless, and get together with the world’s thinkers? How exactly are you going to make a person with no water smile? Oh right, you’ll hand them a Coke."
